The world of eSports offers competitive play, a chance for students to represent their communities, guidance for online interactions, motivation to remain academically and behaviorally eligible and — perhaps most importantly to Woodland’s volunteer coaches/sponsors, Tony Brown and Pat DuMais — a unique opportunity for students to experience being part of a team and all the positives that come with that.

The host Woodland Warriors claimed the first semifinal, and the Seneca Fighting Irish won the night's closing match over Marquette.
